The belt is one of tho most costly as
well as one of the finest trophies over
won by a military company in Georgia.
The belt, a regulation United States in

On tho face, standing out iu raised red gold
letters against a yellow background, ap

wreath, and between the inscription and
tho wreath, a spread eagle iu green g >ld.
The border is and engraved, and is of

Athens Manner; At last a plan ha3 been
discovered by which the cott m planters can
keep even with the exchanges and the jute
bagging men, and if it is generally adopted
the farmer can bid defiance to all his oue
miel aud still keep even with the buyer.
This plan was proposed by a well-known
cotton man of Athens, who has beeu a
friend to the cotton plauter since the inau
guration of his fight against the jute trust.
Here is the plan: Let the farmer,
instead of putting six ties
u on his bales, as n customary, use
nine ties. With tho buckles aud cotton
bagging they will weigh twenty-four
pounds, the amount of tare deducted from
each bale. He cun then let the compresses
substitute jute if they want to, for it will
not lie his funeral. No buyer can object to
this, as the planter is made to lose twenty
four pounds tare on each bale he sells, and
they dare not take off or make deduction
for a single tie. This is a way to beat the
jute trust and at the same time keep even
with the cotton exchanges. It is fair and
honest aud will win the day.
A few days ago the fact was published
that T. A. Kvdd, a negro tailor of Bruns
wick, had received a letter warning him to
leave the oity at once or suffer the con
sequences. At the time it was thought
that the letter was a huge j ke, only In
tended to frighten Kydd, thereby furnish
ing amusement lor the writer, but time has
proven the contrary, for a few nights ago
another letter was placed under Kydd’s
door, which, like the other, was written in
red iuk and ornamented in one corner by a
skull and cross bones. This letter in
sisted on Kydd’s leaving Brunswick at
once. Tuesday Kydd set about his work as
usual, but about the middle of the day a
negro put in au appearance at his shop, who
carried a revolver iu his pocket and another
in his hand. The negro stated the cause of
his visit, and went ou to explain to Kydd
that he had better follow the advice of the
letter aud leave Brunswick at once. Tho
negro continued at iengtb, giving the whys
and wherefores, until he converted Kydd to
his way of thinking, and tbe latter left town
that afternoon. From what could be learned
it soems that there is a woman connected
with the case, aud that Kydd really would
have been harmed had it not boon for his
timely departure. Tho man left several
accounts unpaid and a consider dile amount
of work that had been iutrusted to him un
accounted for, and posdbly these facts had
a-i much to do with his sudden departure os
the threats he had received.

The Prisoners of War.
From the Charleston .Yens and Csurier.
The Inter Ocean * iu an article on the old
Libby prison, which has been removed to
Chicago, where it is to do dutv as a museum,
indulges in customary n< rthern strictures
on the treatment of federal prisoners at the
south. The facts in the matter should be
constantly repeated, so as to remove the
erroneous impressions which northern mis
statement is apt to create.
VYnatever hardship* prisoners on either
side suffered were tbe direct result of hold
ing the meu as prisoners instead of exchang
ing them.
At first the federal government held
sontbern troops to be insurgents and not
proper subjects of exchange.
But soon tbe generals in the field made
exchanges oa their own authority; and
presently a cartel or arrangement for
general exchange was definitely entered
into. No prisoner was to be held for more
than thirty days, at the end of which time
he was paroled, and then the exchange was
to be effected as soon as possible. The
cartel went into operation, the confederate! <
holding at that date the greater numb >r of
prisoners. Shortly afterward, however,
a large number of confederates were capt
ured at the west, aud the federal authori
ties broke the bargain.
After that they exchanged slowly, where
they could gain an advantage, until at last
they ceased all operations under tbe cartel.
Tne confederate government made every
effort to exchange, without avail. Vice
President Stephens, we think, went to
Washington city to solicit new arrange
ments, but the federal goverumeut was firm
in its deuial.
One of the points on which Mr. Stephens
approached President Lincoln at Hampton
Roads was a resumption of exchanges, but
.Mr. Lincoln merely said that was a matter
for Gen. Grant.
The position of the northern government
was that it was a question of mathematics.
Lee had. 5ay,40,000 men; Grant 120,000
men; three to one. If 40,000 should be ex
changed on each side, Lee would have 80,-
000 and Grant but 100,000—only two to
one. Humanity, duty to the soldiers who
were c inflned in hostile hospitals, did not
weigh against the mathematical incon
venience.
So whatever sufferings fell to the lot of
the prisoners are to be laid at the door of
the northern government.
But then tho northern statement is that
the south was cruel to her prisoners. The
north had made medicines ‘contraband of
war—and the south had no medicines to
supply to either her people or her printers;
nor had she rations for her own troops in
the field.
No wonder, then, that the federal* in our
prisons suffered in health and from dep
rivation of food.
The southern authorities regretted the
necessity of these sufferings, but could sup
ply no remedy.
The federal prisoners at Andersonville
realized this and passed resolutions on
Sept. 28, 18(54, addressed to their own gov
ernment, in which they fixed the responsi
bility where it belonged. “While allowing
the confederate authorities all due praise,”
the resolutions declare, “for the attention
paid to our prisoners, numbers of our men
are daily consigned to early graves, in the
prime of their manhood, far from home and
kindred, and this is not caused by the con
federate government, but by force of cir
cumstances.” The next resolution adopted
by the federal prisoners at Andersonville is
as follows:
Resolved, That, whereas in the fortunes of
war it was our lot to become prisoners, we have
suffered patiently, and are still willing to suffer,
if by so doing we can benefit the country; but
we would most respectfully bee to say that we
are not willing to suffer to further the ends of
any party or clique to the detriment of our
honor, our families and our country. And we
woul I beg this affair to he explained to ns. that
we may continue to hold the government in the
respect which it is necessary to make a good
citizen and soldier.
So not only was the north responsible for
the fact that there were prisoners unex
changoi, but that government was also
responsible for the sufferings the federal
prisoners experienced.
Southern skirts are clear.
But the record does not stop there.
Surgeon General Barnes of the United
States army reported the federal prisoners
held by the confederates at 270,000, and the
confederates conflued at the north 230,000.
Secre ary Stanton reported in 1866 that
of tne federal prisoners 22,576 died out of
270,000. aud of the confederates held at the
north 25,436 died out of 220,0,K). These
figures show that out of twelve federal*
held at the south one died, and out of eight
confederates held at the north one died.
Where two foderals died at the south, three
confederates died at the north.
The mortality among the confederates
was 50 per cent, greater than among the
federal prisoners. Aud yet tho north had
unlimited means; no end of men to gua and
her stockades; no want of provisions; no
want of medicines. The northern authori
ties, by unnecessary ill usage, sacrificed
the lives of the confederate prisoners who
surrendered to them, a.id wautouly, cruelly
and heartlessly refu.od to relieve their un
fortuuate soldiers from their uuhappy con
finement.
A Reminiscence of Harper’s Ferry.
Prom the Oriffln ( Ga.) Call.
I see that the old soldiers are holding re
unions nil over the country, and living their
old war-times over again, so I concluded I
would give you a war reminiscence of Har
per’s Ferry, 1862.
Our division (Early’s) occupied the
ground west of the fort on the afternoon of
■ fiept. 15, 1862. Confederate batteries were
getting iu position on Maryland aud Bolivar
bights, although it seemed to be a physical
impossibility to place them there, but they
were there on tho morning of Sept. 16, and
ready for "business." In fact, a battery on
Bolivar was already bolchiug fortu its iron
missiles as we (La vton’s brigade of Early's
division) moved into line of battle, and was
replied to by the siege guns from the fort.
Night came on. We slept, or rather lav,
on our guns, koepiug a sharp lookout for
federal calvary who had beeu shut up iu
“Stonewall Jackson's” bull pen (or trap),
ad who uad beeu trying all night to find a
weak point to slip out. We could hear at
intervals through the night the rattliug of
musketry as they approached the couted
erate line, only to be driven away ; then all
would be still. Time—l 2 o’clock midnight.
A few miles away we could near agaiu the
rapid firing of small arms ring out on the
midnight air, and we lqsew what it meant
—some of them got out of the trap verv
fast.
The next morning bright and eariy we
were ordered up, marched out of a strip of
wood and eatne iu full view of tho fort,
brisling with bayonets anJ crowned with
heavy size guns. Ou we went in a beauti
ful line of battle tn the attack. Tho bat
teries on the bigut were putting shells di
rectly into tie for., picket-firing having
almost ceased. All ominous calm prevailed
that would soon burst forth in a terrific
storm of musketry. The “boys in grey”
were fast closing iu on the fort from every
point of tho compass, but halt! comes the
command, und to our surprise the fort cad
surrendered.
Cheer after cheer went up 011 the Septem
ber uioru wnen we saw the “white bunt
ing” gracefully risoto the top of the polo;
our work was done. Stonewall Jacss m
had accomplished what ho intended—to
capture that fort and its garrison of eleven
thousand men aud all their arms—aud he
did so. Lawton’s brigade marched rapid!,
